Common Core State Standards: State Spotlights

High-quality Common Core State Standards (also, the Common Core or CCSS) implementation impacts student learning through improvements in instruction and clarity of purpose between educators, students, and parents. Good Common Core implementation should result in more students having the powerful, engaging, and challenging learning experiences that prepare them for success in college and career. Specifically, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) believes high-quality Common Core implementation includes the following elements:

• System alignment and systems change
• Educator supports
• Student supports
• Communication and Engagement

• equip CCSSO's Implementing the Common Core Standards (ICCS) state coaches with examples of state actions and resources to share with state implementation teams as needs arise; and
• provide all states with quick access to sample practices they can quickly and easily review.
